Hi Bob...   
      
    BS>       I have an os2 box (that runs my Fido system)

    BS> the drives are failing.   
      
    BS>       Does anyone have any software (or suggestion) that will accurately

    BS>       Anything to avoid complete rebuilding of the OS/2 system  on a new   
    BS> drive.  :)

   You betcha!  The most wonderful application for this I've ever seen is DFSEE   
   which can be completely researched at www.dfsee.com for you.  It can   
   completely service, clone, copy DOS/OS2/Windows/Linux hard disks and at least   
   from even a DOS boot it can completely service HPFS OS/2 stuff.  Log on and   
   take a look at what the author Jan van Wijk has created.  It is a treasure of   
   a tool.   
      
   And individual can get a package of it for real cheap, as well as a limited   
   use edition for trial purposes.  At the $25 or so USD bucks for a licensed   
   version that has *ALL* the op system inter-related tools on it I'd think that   
   ANYONE would be willing to pay Jan for his work.   
      
   If you are in the USA, since Jan is in the Netherlands, you can make a deal   
   with BMT Micro to electronically transfer your little bitty payment for it.   
   Rather than a large buckload for an international certified check.  Or if you   
   are using a credit card that can internationally do it for you as far as I   
   know it won't be too bad.   
      
   You will be SHOCKED at what you can do with OS/2 stuff all the way from DOS to   
   OS/2 MPTS or JFS formatted disk stuff.  I use his tools all the time to back   
   up all my work even cross between HPFS SCSI stuff to USB plug in drive stuff!   
      
   The current level of his work is DFSEE 1.15 which works just fine here.
